Donate

Millions of families are in crisis. Times are too hard for too many. Together, we can help. A donation from you today will help give practical, emotional and financial support where needed.

Why support Family Action?

Every day, we see families in desperate need. From putting food on the table to keeping a roof over their heads, supporting children or family members with additional needs, or all these things and more – for too many families right now, life is feeling impossible.

Your donation will help Family Action deliver vital support to individuals, families, and communities across the UK. We support families with all kinds of challenges through our local services and national helpline, FamilyLine.

Every day, we make sure that 350,000 children start the day well-fed through the National Schools Breakfast Programme. We provide affordable food through our community FOOD Clubs. We help new families get the best start in life and support through every age and stage: guiding parents through the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, early years and adoption, supporting children and families with SEND challenges, and helping families through conflict and crisis. We offer mentoring for young people and support for people affected by the care system, historically and in the present day.

We’ve been here for families since 1869. Your donations help us to be there when families need help the most – through change, challenge and crisis.
